Dunham House

Set in Quebec's Eastern Townships, Dunham House helps clients 18-65 dealing with addiction and mental health challenges, and they specialize in serving people with both, as well as people dealing with alcohol or cocaine addiction. Notably, Dunham House speaks English and can serve people in Quebec who speak the language. Their options are a 30-day intensive program, a 6-month core program, and outpatient services in Montreal. Out-of-town clients are welcome at the 30-day and 60-day programs. For young adults, they have special programming that accounts for their life changes and helps them succeed in their work or school program.
They use a mix of therapies to serve clients, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention planning, art, music, equine therapy, gardening, and recreational therapy. These therapies help people manage emotions, understand their habits, and recover with time-tested, evidence-based tools.
Residents stay in semi-private rooms in a serene, 85-acre campus ideal for reflection, self-exploration, and recovery. The space comprises trails, a pond, a 7000-square-foot vegetable garden, a greenhouse, chicken coop, kayaking, and hiking. Their garden-to-table meals fit different diets, including vegan or vegetarian diets.
Dunham House also serves families with a loved one in addiction through their 6-week person. Up to 10 participants can register for each session and learn about stages of addiction & change, impacts on families and caregivers, communication & boundaries, family dynamics, self-care, and rebuilding trust. They help participants understand what their family member is going through and learn how to respond in ways that are healthy for both the person in addiction and the family member.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Dunham House provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Dunham House offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Dunham House works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
